Pagesize < papersize: Writing jobname/date outside page area
by Tobias Burnus 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hello, I have pagesize < papersize and use crop marks. What I actually miss is the possibility to put text (Project name, date/time) outside the page. Currently, ConTeXt only prints there the colour bars, the page numbers and the crop marks. Example: http://glossary.ippaper.com/default.asp?req=glossary/term/1972&catitemid= As a work around I currently misuse the footer, but I'm afraid that I will forget to remove it for the final version. (Just for curiosity and nothing I need: Does ConTeXt also support register marks?) Tobias

\pdfannot and \tooltip won't work with Chinese characters
by Zhichu Chen 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hi everybody, Since \inmargin won't break through pages and I've tried everything but still can't make it, I bended. Now I want to comment some words with \pdfannot. It seems that this command don't support Chinese very well, the annotations appeared like "lookaheaduchar 73" and something. Then I turned to \tooltip, and this time it showed nothing. Can anybody help me? -- Sincerely yours, Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------- Zhi-chu Chen | Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility No. 2019 | Jialuo Rd. | Jiading | Shanghai | P.R.

Output from texexec
by John R. Culleton 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Under TeXLive 2007 version of context when I run even a trivial program I get reams of output referring to the same typefiles over and over again. Then I get a little message (in the log file) about fonts being reset. Then I get messages about the fonts I actually use. The purpose of compiler messages is to communicate something. 13 iterations of the exact same messages does not increase my store of knowledge any more than 1 display. My questions: what purpose does the repetitious listing of all these typefiles serve and can I suppress it some way?

loading hyphen patterns
by Hans van der Meer 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

In the process of updating to the Texlive2007 distribution I came across the folowing messages in the log when generating the context formats: ) (/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/lang-ctx.tex loading : Context Language Macros / Generic Patterns language : patterns for nl not loaded language : patterns for fr not loaded language : patterns for de not loaded language : patterns for it not loaded language : patterns for pt not loaded language : patterns for hr not loaded language : patterns for pl not loaded language : patterns for cz not loaded language : patterns for sk not loaded language : patterns for sl not loaded language : patterns for vn not loaded language : patterns for ru not loaded language : patterns for en not loaded language : patterns for uk not loaded language : patterns for us not loaded language : patterns for agr not loaded ) (/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/lang-dis.tex loading : Context Language Macros / Distribution Patterns ) (/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/context/base/unic-ini.tex Does this mean that the hyphenation patterns are not loaded (although present in the cont-tmf.zip)? And if so, how do I accomplish loading them? Hans van der Meer

using of field failed when arrange subpages

Hi, I've tried Hans' example introduced at mwidget-p.pdf, it's perfect. But when I was trying some subpage arrangements, it just failed. How could it happen? I guess either shiping out subpages forget the fields or something has covered over them.

page numbering in words?
by cormullion＠mac.com 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

is it possible to adjust options so as to get page numbering done in words? Eg "one" "two" ..... "eighty-nine" ... "three hundred and sixty seven" ? Or does this require some more work/code?

\unknown
by Idris Samawi Hamid 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hi Hans... \unknown is cryptic; why not just... \ellipsis? That's what it is after all, and it's immediately obvious, easier to remember, etc....-) (at least as an official synonym...) Note that you could also have \setupellipsis: '...' is the most prevalent but not the only form it can take. '***' and \emdash are apparent alternatives... Bringhurst's discussion on ellipsis rules might help with creating typographical options... French and English have different rules, for example... ...Best ...Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/

Pagebreak only after stanzas
by Bert Trüger 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Hi, i am a fresh convert to Context from Latex and deeply impressed by it's ability to set multiple pages on one page, even doublesided ones. For setting a collection of poems I use \obeylines and \smallskip to arrange them on the page. Pagebreaks should only be possible between stanzas at the \smallskip-mark. Could somebody tell me, how to achieve this? Thanks in advance Chris

arxiv.org: submitting ConText documents
by Sanjoy Mahajan 17 Apr '07

17 Apr '07

Here is the (just tested!) procedure to submit ConTeXt documents to arxiv.org and also provide source. Suppose that document.tex is the source file, and has fig.mp as the figure file that produces fig.1, etc. 1. Generate document.ps using texexec --dvi --nobackend document.tex dvips -Ppdf document.dvi -o document.ps /* the -o in case of stupid systems that send the output to lpr by default */ 2. Make a directory src/ with document.tex and fig.mp. Then make a .tgz file for uploading. It is produced from this file structure document.ps src/ fig.mp document.tex e.g. by tar -czvf arxiv.tgz document.ps src/ 3. arxiv.org will generate PDF from the PS using ghostscript, so make sure that ps2pdf on document.ps produces a working PDF. 4. If all is well, upload arxiv.tgz as your submission using the usual arxiv.org submission (or replacement) procedure. Ideally you'll do step 4 at least 15 minutes (ideally an hour) before the 4pm (US Eastern) weekday deadline, so that you get back the submission date and preprint number from arxiv, leaving time for step 5 5. Incorporate the preprint number (or URL) and submission date into your document and produce an arxiv stampline along the left. Then remake document.ps and arxiv.tgz in step 2, and replace the previous submission with the new arxiv.tgz. 6. Check that all is well. When the paper becomes official (8pm US Eastern time), users should get three choices for format: PS (what you provided), PDF (generated by arxiv.org from the PS), and 'Other formats', which will offer an option to download source. Of course, all of the remaking should be done by a Makefile. You can see <http://www.arxiv.org/abs/0704.1854> for an example with a Makefile. All of the above is wikified at <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Posting_on_arxiv.org> -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R. Tolkien)
